Color looked jacked up
-
Do you have the Sanyo inverter board ?
-
No didn't know about those, thanks Kevin, does anyone know where i get get a sanyo inverter already made, not a kit?
-
Is there an inveter here
-
I don't see an inverter and it looks like your Sanyo is missing the common components for use with Nintendo games.
It has been referenced before and the instructions state that the inverter Mikes Arcade carries will work for what you need. (verify this with Mike)

Thanks again kevin, would this work as well? and if so where would the 16vdc power come from ?
-
That IS a Sanyo inverter board in your pic...
The voltage originally used to come from a spot on the monitor chassis itself. (I forget the exact spot now)
But they will run fine on 12VDC which you can take from your PC power supply.
There is also a kit available to re-install the parts on the monitor chassis to convert it back to a standard monitor. Chassis removal and soldering skills required.
-
Kevin, Which would you go with? The original or the mikes arcade?
-
Me personally.... the original.
But I'm partial to original everything.
Finding the right connectors for those can be tricky though.
(without just buying a cable to hack that is)
-
Thanks Kevin, I trust your judgement!!!! Original bought !

SWitched from JPAC to Ultimarc vid amp. I ve got the inverter board hooked up to the ultimarc vid amp and i am still having issues shown below and then the monitor just shuts off. Would the amp do this, could this monitor not need an amp?

Don't know why the vid amp would be different then the jpac, but very happy it is working and working GREAT!!!!! I haven't even touched any of the adjustments yet.
-
The only thing now is that horizontal width is a little too long for some games, could live with it, but i am hesitant fool with the HWidth Coil, if i were going to would i use this tool? Also check out some of these awsome shots, if anyone can get their hand on one of these monitors i highley recomend
them.
-
I believe the JPAC has a built in signal amp.... so you may have had "double amps" going on causing TOO much signal.
But looks like you got it going nicely now. :cheers:
You need the plastic allen (hex) tool to adjust that width coil. Should have been one in the same set of tools as the one you posted.
-
:cheers:
just FYI When i was hooked up to the amp the jpac wasn't in the senario it was the straight Vid amp.....so it looks like im gonna need a few more jpacs,
Kevin thanks for the clarification on the tool i was going to use the one in the pic, but now i think i'll just leave it for a while... theres being thorough and then there is being stupid, and with my level of skill i should just keep it simple stupid...thanks for the support!

There is a difference in the amp and J-PAC regards sync.
The J-PAC actively synthesises composite sync from the input H and V sync.
The amp simply connects the H and V together and buffers the resulting signal. It does not amplify it. Not all monitors are happy with this combined signal, but the H and V can be separated on the amp and fed to the amp separately, if the monitor has separate H and V inputs.
-
Thanks for the reply Andy, But the problem is that this Monitor only has a 1 composite sync wire not separate h and v sync, so it should in theory just work .....i think ....anyways i am going to try just a hacked vga cable and see what happens.
